Morning Buzz: An “elegant” burger

How much would you pay for a really good burger? Some folks in California are paying $90. This story comes to us from KCBS. The restaurant is called Square One, and it’s located in Santa Barbara, CA. There are two kinds of burgers: the “surf” made from ingredients including lobster and scallops, and the “turf” made with ingredients including kobe beef and ground ribeye. The chef says it’s an “elegant” burger.

Quite a pricy burger… and I’m not sure if fries are included or if you’ll have to pay extra! Would you buy a $90 burger?

$90 Dollars for a burger huh? NO.Are burgers even supposed to be “elegant”?

I havent been back to Santa Barbara since my days with Foghat..

I do however know that the fries are Black Perigord truffles..not tofu..

I think I would rather buy 90 double cheeseburgers from the dollar menu at Mickey D’s instead..

It’s funny to think of it that way… You could buy one burger or you could buy 90… for the same price!

Who in their right mind,(other than a starving person with no other option) would pay that much for anything to eat, much less a burger?

Wolf, were you a member of Foghat?

I dont really consider their’s a burger..

It’s more like a high end dinner stuffed between two pieces of bread..with an order of truffles passing themselves off as fries..

Everything on Cota Street in Santa Barbara..is designed to attract the “posh” crowd..kind of an arts and culture feel to it..

Dave..if I answer that..it will lead us “off topic”..and I promised my wife that I would forget about my wild and crazy days ...wink

Kobe beef is overrated. I tried some in Chicago. Not worth the extra expense. The only way I’d pay 90 bucks for a hamburger would be if a naked Drew Barrymore was serving it. She could make me write a bad check.
